This is tragic:
The Conventicle: Dr Packer Served 60 Days Notice
Dr. J.I. Packer, author of Knowing God and a strong voice for evangelicalism within the Anglican church, has been served 60 days notice for removing himself from the authority of a bishop who supports and blesses same-sex marriage. This is another strong indication of the shattering of the Anglican Communion, as many denominations have split over the same issue (and the more fundamental issue—the inerrant authority of God's Word).
Now is when we must be reminded that Christ walks among the lampstands: that He is in control of His church and upholds it, and that the one who clings to Him will overcome. Please do pray for Dr. Packer, and for the Anglican Church as a whole, as we pass through these dark times. Let us ask Christ that His church will stand as a faithful witness.

I'm sorry . . . 60 days notice to do what? Has Packer already removed himself from the bishop's authority or . . .how is he supposed to do that by this "notice"?
Granme
That (second) might be one of the best paragraphs you've ever written. Just went and read that passage in Rev. and now I'm thinking (which is the worst thing to be doing when there's office work to be done!)
